The former PTA treasurer at Sewells Point Elementary School in Norfolk pleaded guilty to embezzlement on Thursday, and was ordered to repay $7,004.83.
Joan Nicole Lee pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor embezzlement charge in Norfolk Circuit Court and avoided a felony embezzlement charge by terms in her plea agreement, according to the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.
Between 2009 and May 2010, Lee's duties for the PTA included paying their bills which gave her access to the PTA's funds at BB&T.
According to court records, in May 2009, she opened a credit card in her own name that was tied to the PTA's funds. The card and unique pin number were maintained only by Lee.
The PTA's president did not discover the existence of the card until November 2009.
During this time period, the defendant used the credit card to withdraw money from the PTA's bank account through several ATM withdrawals. She also used it to pay for parts for a 2000 Volvo.
The total amount that was withdrawn was $7,0004.83.
